Title: FA Notes [Please Read] Post by: NetsGM on October 18, 2005, 09:57:52 AM 1) Please list first and last names. Knicknames, or just first names, or just last names, don't work.
2) Only tell me "120%" of last years salary if the guy doesn't have 3+ bird years. If a guy does have 3+ bird years, you can offer him any contract, specify the starting year. The only way I can know 120% of last years contract is if the guy has less than 3 bird years, then 120% if the max I can offer and I can tell the computer that. This doesn't work when the max is the league maximum because he has 3+ bird years.

(http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/4659/faoffer1ok.th.jpg) (http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=faoffer1ok.jpg) So the data bods has to submit to the application is - YEARS - YEARLY RAISE (%) - FIRST YEAR (contract money) offering in this context will speed up the process ... 8) Title: FA Notes [Please Read] Post by: NetsGM on October 18, 2005, 10:14:00 AM Yes. As you can see, it doesn't tell me the amount he made last year. So if a guy has less than 2 bird years, the max salary (like the one in the picture) is 120% of that, no problem.
If a guy has 3+ bird years, the max salary is 15,000,000 or so (league maximum based on experience), so I have no idea (without loading up an old archived save) of what last years salary was. As an example, we'll take Nate Van Exel. Nate made (roughly) 3 million last year or so. Celtics tells me 120% of last years salary, which would be about 4 million as his intention. This is what NVE's page looks like to me: (http://ssba.phillyarena.net/files/bids.gif) There's no way for me to tell 120% of his prior years salary. Digging up old saves is just a PITA. To Recap: Basically: 2 or less bird years: 120% of last years salary is fine to say 3+ bird years: tell me the starting salary. |
